Mystery Cichlid (shot #2)
This isn't the best shot ever, actually it kinda sucks. But it does show his coloring better. It's difficult photographing in my cichlid tank as it acts as a room divider and has no backing. So I usually end up with pictures of my kitchen. LOL. Thanks for helping me out on this ;)

I'm still not convinced auratus. Mine never got blue. He was always yellow, black and white. I could be wrong of course.
